My family loves Mexican food. My husband tends to favor tacos or burritos, while I am always down for a good chile relleno, tacos or enchiladas. My daughter is happy as long as there is a cheese quesadilla on the menu & an endless supply of tortilla chips. Recently my daughter & I took a quick trip (just 15-20 minutes north from where we live) to try out solita Tacos in Valencia. It’s located at the Valencia Town Center which is the … [Read more...]
Penne Pasta with Uncle Steve’s Arrabiata Sauce
